Overbooked TUIfly flight

TUIfly Overbooking: When TUIfly sells more tickets than the actual number of passengers they can take.

The overbooking is legal, but you can be granted up to € 600.

TUIfly aims to avoid empty seats because of no-shows, but this must be legally sanctioned.

When the TUIfly passenger has received a flight ticket or any document stating the payment has been accepted and registered, it is a “confirmed reservation”. Boarding denials happen when a passenger presents to the gate but TUIfly refuses them access to the plane.

How do I know how long was TUIfly flight delayed?

1. Have a Lexority specialist to tell you how long was the delay of the TUIfly flight without a doubt. Take in to account that the following tools are not always accurate and need a payment record.
2. Use the web http://www.flightstats.com/ where if you register you can see the TUIfly status of all flights including those of years ago.
3. Another way is accesing to Flight Radar where you can see the last seven days TUIfly flight delays without registering. If you register you can also see delayed flights from up to 2 years ago.

Note: When the TUIfly delay is very close to three hours, Flightradar24 is not 100% accurate, since it shows the time of landing, but not the exit from the plane, which is what the regulations imposes has to be taken in consideration.
